For those of you who think partisanship is at an all-time low today, just look back to this time. This was AFTER Democrat Representative Preston Brooks beat the hell out of Republican Charles Sumner with a walking cane. Democrat Preston Brooks hit Sumner in a sneak attack, just the same way Antifa and BLM work today.
